Just downloaded and tried Opera 11.51 and didn't get very far. On really
simple test pages I could navigate to some items but on others I got
busy, VO crash or seemed to get stuck or just say "empty web area" when
it should have been reading content. So that was a waste of time. WebAIM
describes Opera as 'limited support'

Is it possible to share the URLs you are having the crashes on?

Chris,
Have you used opera? I installed, but could not make it read pages, I can read
the bar and stuff, but not page content, do you think I might be missing some
information?
Also, I have the webkit installed, and safari keeps on crashing in several
pages I need to view when hovering over a certain type of content that I cannot
pin down exactly what it is. But if I use a sighted people's mac that does not
have any thing, safari does not seem to crash in the same pages. Do you think
it is one of those cases, of things that are broken with the webkit?
Thanks,
Rachel.

Safari is the primary browser for OSX but some people have found that the
nightly build of Webkit (the engine of Safari)vhas less issues. Of course
nightly build means each day some stuff is fixed but other stuff might be
broken. You might also try Chrome which is supposed to be accessible with
voiceover as well as Opera. I wrote a while ago about the problem with
competing accessibility API standards which is why Firefox and Flash will not
be accessible on Mac (they chose one standard and Apple chose to make their
own). Same thing with Thunderbird email client.

Great. I was thinking of trying Firefox, because I'm bloody sick of hearing "Safari
busy" -- particularly when I'm on my bank's web site paying my bills. What are
others using besides SAfari?

Well, I have managed to avoid these things, but if it helps keyboard commander
is set up by default in Snow Leopard to have left-option-X send the image in
the VOICE-OVER cursor via mail.
Best wishes,

Hi everyone, On the pc I could solve visual only captchas with either solona
and ie (but often there was no operator online) or webvisum and firefox. Is
there a way to solve visual captchas as a blind person on the mac? As far as I
know firefox is still not accessible on the mac.
Thanks in advance
Greetings, Anouk,
